Introduction to DocBook-utils

The DocBook-utils package is a

“classical” file formats
like HTML, man, info, RTF and many more. There's also a utility to
compare two SGML files and only
display the differences in markup. This is useful for comparing
documents prepared for different languages.

Optional

these catalog definitions:

grep "OpenSP-1.5.1" /etc/sgml/catalog

If anything was returned, run the following command as the root
user to remove the catalog definitions:
